Computing Method of Fractal Dimension of Image and Its Application
Feng Zhi · Journal of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology · 2001
Fractal geometry provides people with ideas and methods used to study irregular geometric objects. Fractal dimension can indicate some characteristics of image obtained from nature. A wide research and approval are obtained in this field. Based on the storing principles of images in computer,a computing method of fractal dimension is studied in this paper. A computing method of fractal dimension of image, pixel covering method, is given. As an example of its application, damage appearances of cement under various stresses and strains during the single axle loading are recorded with electronic scanning microscope. Fractal dimensions of the damage fields at various times are calculated. It reveals the features of the material damage and its development in a sense.
